On the latest episode of the Stories to Create podcast, Cornell Bunting sits down with Jamaican reggae artist 1Sesedon, who takes us on a powerful journey through his early life in Jamaica. He shares stories of growing up on Bay Farm Road in Waterhouse, Kingston 11, and reflects on the pivotal moment he was given the opportunity to attend Calabar High School.

1Sesedon talks about gaining structure during his school years and discovering what he was truly called to do—music—even though he spent much of his high school days playing cricket. He opens up about finding his passion for music around age 20, pursuing voice training, and learning to play the piano. Despite the violence surrounding him, he managed to stay positive, rise above his circumstances, and eventually make his way out of the garrison.

He also pays tribute to one of Jamaica’s greats, the late Jimmy Cliff, before sharing insights into some of his own songs, including “Believe,” “Aftermath,” “Badmind Nah Mean Nothing,” “Golden Touch,” and others—along with the track that means the most to him, “Know the Feeling,” a heartfelt dedication to his mother.

Listen in as he tells his story, filled with resilience, passion, and purpose.
